Preliminary Outlooks for Various QPF Durations

Contingency river forecasts are produced by running varying WPC QPF durations through the operational hydrologic model to anticipate potential future crests. These are raw model simulations that DO NOT take into account hydrologist expertise and quality control modifications. They are NOT official forecasts, should be used with extreme caution, and only as a "head's up" to what COULD be coming. The contingency forecasts are updated daily by Noon Central every day.

Current River Forecasts - Official	Zero QPF	24 Hour QPF


48 Hour QPF	72 Hour QPF	96 Hour QPF


120 Hour QPF	144 Hour QPF	168 Hour QPF
